How hosting works

Send a request

Tell us your organisation, the age group, roughly how many participants, and the time slot you have available.

We confirm details together

We agree a date, choose the topic and length that fit your group, and confirm whether we deliver on site or online.

We handle the materials

A trained volunteer educator facilitates the session and brings all participant handouts and take-home materials.

You get a summary

After the session we share pre- and post-session learning checks and a short written summary for your records.

Looking for something longer?

Our multi-session programs go deeper — six weeks on everyday money skills, five on paying for education and early career decisions, and four on long-term planning.
